Stage 2: Cleanup and Restoration | ||||||||||||||||||||
While the
body, engine and tranny were in Myrtle Beach, back home in Tennessee
we weren't idle. We had lots of parts to clean, paint or maybe just
order replacements for. |

On the left,
I started with the dashboard. Here I'm holding the old inner dash in
my left hand and the newly sawn replacement in my right hand. You can
see that the old one was missing a few pieces. |

Looks like lots of hands have practiced
soldering techniques under the dash- board. |

One part of the garage
looks like a used parts bin. What you can't see is the exhaust system
hanging from the ceiling and the shelving unit you can see has two lower
shelves crammed with small parts. |

All of the heavy sanding/priming is taking place in South Carolina. But back in Tennessee we're still staying busy sanding and painting all the small parts. Here's some of our work on the horn mount: Before, after sandblasting, and after painting. You also get a peek at our paint drying "booth" also known as a cardboard box. | ||||||||||||||||||||
